Skin Fitting Recessed Skin Fitting The Recessed Skin Fitting body and nut are moulded from glass fibre reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high-modulus glass fibres provide dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability. These properties allow a significant weight reduction over metallic fittings (weights listed on Page 3). Tru-Design Skin Fittings eliminate the corrosion and electrical bonding problems associated with metallic fittings. Our Skin Fittings meet ISO International Standards giving added assurance of performance in the harsh marine environment.
